Hi, re: annoying commercial messages When I was setting up britdisc-daily, I discovered that you don't need to be su*scribed to britdisc to send a mesage to it. Whilst this was great for my project (it meant people could su*scribe to bd-daily, unsu*cribe from britdisc, and still send message to britdisc), it does mean that any commercial spammer could get hold of britdisc's address and send spam to it. I think that's why it happens, what to do about it is difficult to say (if I knew the answer, I'd be a e-millionaire by now). Of course, you could always join britdisc-daily... http://www.egroups.com/group/britdisc-daily (or email me for more info). Love & Luck, Lozza Night Fever BD-Daily's Mr Moderater
